According to the winter soccer program director, "the beauty of this program is that it allows players who have enjoyed playing together during the fall to continue together into January and February. At the same time, it allows players who did not have a positive experience in the fall to join a new team and get a fresh start."
Coaches are allowed to pick up to eight players for their team. If a coach does not have enough players to fill a team, individual players on the waitlist will be assigned to fill the gaps. Those who step up to coach will not have to pay for their son or daughter to play.
